The Yardbirds were not the Beatles. No one in the Fab Four came close to imitating the Yardbirds sound even with the help of George Martin. Garage punks hated the Beatles. I was one of them. We loved the scene in Antonioni's BLOW-UP when David Hemming goes to a concert and fight over Jeff Beck's destroyed guitar Jeff Beck. We also hated Eric Clapton. The previously catatonic audience burst into a frenzy to fight over the shattered guitar neck. David hemming, the star of the movie, wins the contest only to toss his prize away in the street as trash.
Classic.
